Another wonderful visit with Tiffany. This time she and Ian are at a gallery opening when someone is murdered. Naturally, Tiffany wants to investigate but she doesn't have a client so... The next day she is contacted by someone who wants her to solve the murder. It's a great story with lots of side angles and plenty of humor. Who says art is boring?

I’ve stuck with this series which, for me, started well...the went stale for a couple of books...but the picked up again immediately until the characters and plots became like a fine wine. Which, in the case of this number in the series, is a segue. (And a nod to the author for some delightful side characters this to around....talking about YOU, Kylie).
The main character, Tiffany, and her side kick Ian along with Nanna and the many other wacky people in this world actually made me laugh out loud and keep turning the pages. Something that thousands of books into my reading life, is getting more difficult to accomplish!
The ending was slightly unexpected, but more so than the mystery plot there was a twist at the end that hit all my “awwwww” moments and had me close the final chapter with a warm feeling and anticipation of the next in the series. These characters have now become friends and this author is on my favorite list for her ability to give me a few days to lose myself in a wonderful and silly tale that makes me laugh, gets me frustrated at times with some banality, tells a great little mystery plot, but most of all...and most important? Makes me happy.
It is also wonderful to have an indie author do so well....and is well deserved of support. Keep them coming please!

Tiffany is at it again with her trusty sidekick Ian and their sometimes “detective” helper Angel. Tiffany decides to become an art aficionado and heads to a new art exhibit that her friend Jack is speaking at that evening. Of course best laid plans when someone is murdered at the event and Tiffany and Ian are hired by the murdered lady’s boss to solve the crime. Even with all the obstacles in her way and absolutely no idea which way to go, Tiffany is still in great spirits since she found out Stone and Ryan are safe and in Washington for a lengthy debrief. Tiffany continues to try to unravel clues and just when she thinks she’s figured it out boy is she surprised. A great whodunnit that isn’t revealed until the end

Tiffany goes to an art show
Free cupcakes but savory yuck! Tiffany is hired to find the killer and gets a side job too. Her bff is back but Ryan & Stone is another story. Nana pops up a few times. Tiffany & Ian are going around & around and are not having any success. Hopefully the next book will tell more of Tiffany, Ryan, & Stone and why does Tiffany & Ian's cousin look so much alike...

Love A R Winters
Tiffany and Ian really exposed the art show by. Also helped a lady find a painting she had lived looking at as a child. The spooky characters that attended the art show. It reminded me why I prefer to stay home with my greyhound and not date men. So many conceited creeps out there. Great story and a happy ending.

Favorite So Far
What a fun romp through the desert with our favorite detective duo. This story comes alive with quirky characters and unexpected adventures. Many of the previous characters were given small roles, leading to a fresh new storyline that can stand alone. I really enjoyed this book!

Tiffany and Ian are invited to an art exhibit where a reporter is murdered. Tiffany is hired by the newspaper to investigate and they begin working through the many suspects and rumors. Tiffany also is hired to find an old painting by a lady who used to visit in the summer. Always changing plot line with good eating thrown in

Tiffany and Ian do it again
I love the Tiffany Black mysteries. They are lots of fun with the banter between Tiffany and Ian her assistant. I like how she keeps meeting new characters who stick around for more than one book. I just hope that someday Tiffany will end up with Stone.

Enjoyable but a little dry
The plot is easy to follow but felt almost clinical in how it was written. I'm having a hard time getting excited about it...maybe because the Stone/Ryan situation keeps dragging on leaving the character interactions too bland.

Love this series
These are such light and fun books. They are always great after or in-between a dark, heavy read or just for feel-good relaxing enjoyable fun. This author doesn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to delve into her other series.

Twists and turns
Anyone who likes a mystery with twists to the plot and a slightly snarky protagonist will find that and more in the books by A. R. Winters. I love to relax and read through each of the series. I cannot recommend any of the series more highly.

This was hugely entertaining. Murder in the art world with mummies, crazies and weird cupcakes. Angel, as ever, made me laugh and drunken Kylie was a hoot. Loved it.

Great series
This series is very exciting. The story and the characters are well developed but not predictable. Wish there was more romance.
